From Mary Sue Ittner:
BULBS: ("MV" refers to the number assigned to the selection by the late
oxalis specialist Michael Vassar)
5. Oxalis fabaefolia, received as Oxalis assinia from Bill Baird
6. Oxalis flava (yellow, obtained by the wrong name, Oxalis namaquana, but
really flava)
7. Oxalis hirta (mauve) received from Ron Vanderhoff, definitely a different

8. Oxalis livida - fall blooming, narrow divided leaves
9. Oxalis luteola MV 5567 60km s of Clanwilliam. 1.25" lt yellow
flrs, darker ctr. This one has been very reliable for me in Northern
California
10. Oxalis MV4674 not sure what species this one is. Collected by Michael
Vassar as 16km north into Sweekspoort, South Africa, was described by him as
a tiny tufted plant with tiny leaves. It has pink flowers and blooms in the
fall.
11. Oxalis palmifrons -grown for the leaves, mine have never flowered, but
the leaves I like, supposedly has a better chance of blooming if planted
deeply
12. Oxalis pardalis MV7632 (rcvd. As O. species MV7632). Fall to early
winter blooming. Thin, thread-like bronzy foliage on a busy plant.
Topped by a long period of medium pink flowers. From Ron Vanderhoff
13. Oxalis polyphylla var heptaphylla MV6396 Vanrhynsdorp. Succulent
thread-like leaves. Winter growing, blooms fall
14. Oxalis purpurea 'Garnet' -- the one with purple leaves and bright pink
flowers
15. Oxalis purpurea 'Skar' originally from Bill Baird, long blooming, pink
flowers
16. Oxalis zeekoevleyensis blooms early fall, lavender flowers, sometimes
flowers as early as August
Thank you, Jim and Mary Sue !!
